The advent of novel approaches to molar correction and an increasing acceptance of our limited ability to modify facial growth has contributed to new diagnostic challenges in the management of Class II malocclusion. We will consider the predictability and impact of a range of alternatives with an emphasis on tailoring treatment approaches on an individual basis accounting for space and anchorage requirements. Recommendations will be made based on individual scenarios with clinical tips to troubleshoot Class II correction in both children and adults. In particular, the use of removable functional appliances will be considered with an emphasis on the refinement of wear protocols and the streamlining of designs in order to improve predictability. The relative merits of molar distal movement versus mid-arch extraction and the effect of extractions on the posterior dentition will also be considered on the basis of contemporary best evidence. Finally, the impact of these approaches on long-term maintenance will be considered.

Padhraig is Chair/Professor of Orthodontics at Trinity College Dublin and was formerly Professor, Consultant and Postgraduate Training Lead in Orthodontics at the Institute of Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London. He was awarded the British Orthodontic Society Medal for clinical excellence in 2008 and a PhD in 2013.

Orthodontic presentations are, unfortunately, often focused on ego showing only the best cases and trying to convince the audience that if the work is done well, the practice should run smoothly. However, when we speak about orthodontics without secrets, we realize that difficult decisions, problems and mistakes, are the norm rather than the exception. After 25 years of practice, problems have appeared in nearly every topic of Orthodontics.
The most instructive problems will be selected from areas such as expansion, skeletal anchorage, treatment of asymmetries, tooth movement, impacted teeth, orthoperio relationships, and orthognathic surgery. The complete solution process, with long-term follow-up, will be shared through photographic records from session to session, including cases where the outcome was not always the most successful. Come and join us! You will learn and, at the same time, feel a sense of psychological relief when realizing you are not alone.

Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
In an increasingly competitive orthodontic landscape, patient experience is no longer a “soft” concept—it is a measurable driver of growth, efficiency, and team engagement. This session explores how every touchpoint in the patient journey, from the first phone call to retention and referrals, shapes perception, compliance, and long-term outcomes.
Attendees will learn how to intentionally design aconsistent, patient-centered experience that aligns clinical excellence withoperational efficiency. Drawing on real-world examples from practiceenvironments, this lecture will highlight common breakdowns in the patientjourney, practical strategies for improvement, and how to engage the entireteam in delivering an experience that builds trust and loyalty withoutincreasing burnout.

Teeth move throughout life necessitating intensive retention in order to mitigate post-treatment change encompassing both genuine relapse and maturational changes. As orthodontic extraction rates remain low, the onus on diligent retention to limit risks of genuine relapse is high. Moreover, adherence to removable retention regimes are low with non-compliance rates of up to 67% after 2 years. This is counterbalanced by a failure rate of fixed retainers of up to 30% over a 3-year period. Approaches to enhancing predicability with both removable and fixed approaches are emphasised with the challenges presented by de novo wire activation highlighted.

Have you ever felt a tense environment in the office when new technologies are implemented, when the equation of new knowledge is not necessarily reflected in time savings or an increase in income? Is the staff always aware of how they can prevent errors in treatments? The Staff/Dr. Alliance is so much more than just providing extra hands to work on patients. Put simply, no practice can ever improve—even if the doctor learns new things—if this alliance is not well understood.
Throughout several clinical examples with thorough photographic records, we will explore how these complicated clinical scenarios need to be well-managed to succeed. Difficulties in the management of technologies, aligners, difficult biomechanics, skeletal anchorage, and surgical cases will be presented. Emphasis on the importance of communication and understanding each other's tasks is of utmost importance to succeed. A variety of orthodontic mechanics will be shared in a uniquely friendly and practical way. Doctors, together with their staff, are strongly encouraged to attend this fun talk together.
